Thomas Miller is the director of DePaul's Sound Recording
Technology program. He is a twenty-year veteran of the Chicago recording
industry with credits that range from The Blues Brothers to Placido
Domingo. His interest in recording and sound transformation found a
compatible technology in 1985 with the development of the NED
Synclavier, and he began programming sound design for albums and
commercials. An avid creator and collector of sounds, Miller created the
Universal Sound Library, a timbre library for the Synclavier that was
marketed worldwide. His fascination with timbral evolution, surround
sound, and multimedia has led him to compose electroacoustic works for
electronics, percussion, processed voices and projected images. Miller
is a graduate of the University of Iowa and DePaul University with
degrees in composition
